Free flower exhibition celebrating influential women to bloom in Montreal

Apr 26 2022, 2:18 pm

After another long winter, Montreal is getting into the full spring swing of things. With that comes a longing for a burst of colour.

Luckily, the vibrant Fleurs de Villes FEMMES exhibit will soon make its way to town. After stints in places like Miami, London, and Toronto, the floral series dedicated to historically significant women will arrive at Complexe Desjardins on May 20, remaining there until May 29.

Mannequins over the years have paid tribute to the outfits and costumes of icons such as Cher, Aretha Franklin, Grace Jones, and Celine Dion. “Harbingers of change, rule-breakers and trailblazers, we celebrate these women’s wide-ranging contributions through creative tributes in the form of fresh floral mannequins,” says the exhibit’s website.
